Abstract

A refrigerator with an automatic ice maker, which does not smell from ice produced in an ice maker, and is excellent in hygiene, inexpensive, and easy to use, the automatic ice maker of the refrigerator has a water bottle and a refrigerator placed in the refrigerator compartment. An ice making unit disposed in the freezing compartment at the bottom of the water supply unit, and a water supply means for guiding water from the water supply bottle to the ice making unit, and the water supply unit has a recess for the drip tray disposed below the bottle support wall in the refrigerating compartment, and the water support is provided in the bottle support wall. An open hole is provided for communicating the inside of the concave portion to the refrigerating chamber. When the water supply bottle is mounted at a predetermined position on the bottle support wall, the open hole of the bottle support wall is covered by the cap of the water supply bottle. It is a structure which prevents sticking to the circumferential wall or the bottom wall of the recess for drips.

Such a structure prevents food debris from falling down into the recess for the drip tray and adheres to the circumferential wall or the bottom wall of the recess for the drip tray, and makes odorless ice in the ice maker. In addition, the effect that the bottle cover is unnecessary and advantageous also in view of the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator.
